A WORD I TRULY DISLIKE...

Hi, well today I need to get this off my mind...I am about to scream every time I hear this word used...What is the word??? Let's start with....

Or this one...

Or these....

Do you see a pattern...What word am I talking about???

It's the word....luck, lucky, good luck, wish me luck, and

It has nothing to do with luck!!! You are not lucky, you are blest.

Don't say good luck...wish me the best.. pray for me, just don't wish me luck. It has just bothered me so much...I don't know why, well I do, but all of a sudden it's like nails on a chalk board..I feel like this when someone uses the Lords name in vain...My hair stand straight up...UGGGG..

THE ONLY PLACE THE WORD LUCK NEEDS TO BE IS ON THIS CEREAL BOX!!!

Enough said on this..I feel much better...Thanks for letting me vent. I am so BLESSED..I am so BLEST to have you,

Blessings,

Jolyn

MAIN BATH UPDATE AN ART PROJECT

Happy Monday to you. I just wanted to post what I have worked on this past week. In an earlier post on main bath, you know I have been frustrated with getting this room to look right. So I showed the new shower curtain I got. Since then I made Some art for the walls. I first got two 8x10 picture frames in the clearance section at Jo Ann's for 5.00. I also picked up some scrapbooking paper I thought would work in here, along with some stickers. Then I thought when I got home I need three frames not 2, so I picked up another frame for 2.99 at Marc's. In this picture I cut to size a sheet of paper and added it to my 2.99 frame the paper was 25 cents a piece. So this center one cost me 3.24...

Now on the two end ones I got two sheets of paper the same added shell stickers and put my Children's name on each one at the top. In the middle I took a piece of shell paper and cut a square out and taped it on. This one on the left says Autumn.

The one on the right says Michael. I added the towel hooks and it worked out good. Pictures total cost was about 10.00. It looks good, it matches, its whimsical and fun...even personalized..lol.

Before all drab and depressing..

added new shower curtain, took down pictures.

added new rugs. And of course pictures and towel hooks. Now I need new light and to added decor to the sink area..along with framing mirror....I will be back with next phase...

WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS

How I felt when my first born came walking in from work Saturday. As this being my first child, out working with a job and 17 years old, they are young men or women at that age. I don't need to be there for every need and they want their Independence. You raise them the best you know how at the time and pray to God they do good. I guess I said that to say... As Michael came home Saturday he walked in with this beautiful flower hanging basket, And said Happy Mother's Day Mom..

And gave me a hug and kiss....I was so very shocked.. and tearfully I hugged him and thanked him so much..I said Son, Honey Thank you this is beautiful..But the part that got me..

is that he thought of me...And he knows what I like. He took the time and his money to do this for me...That is the part that is so tender...his giving heart and love...BUT not only for me...

He thought of his Grandma...I said honey she isn't your mom..I said this in a teasing way.. and he said but she's my Grandma..... He got her this basket of flowers also...Well now my heart has totally melted at his thoughtfulness and love...What a Husband he will be one day.....

It's not over I was at mom's house looking at her flower basket and Michael went outside and came back in with.....That will be on another post stay tuned..

My heart is still full..I love you Michael, and Thank You so very much for showing me your love for me this Mother's day...Love Mom.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

To all you wonderful Mother's. I pray you had a wonderful day, and you were treated like a queen.

I found some pictures I have been looking for, they were on another hard drive...Our Cancun pics, and Disney along with Hershey and Christmas's. This is one I found from a Mother's day awhile ago. We were at the Zoo.

Today we all went to church then went out to dinner with my Mom and my Mother- in -law. It was a cold day not really out of the 40's but the sun was shinning.

We got home and had to watch game 4 of the cav's and celtics playoff....And cav's lost so it is now a 2-2 series. My brother and Ty stopped over to see Mom and My Aunt and Uncle stopped by to visit...It is nice having family in for a visit, Just like Sunday were when I was little..

I pray everyone has a wonderful week..
